Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to change a laptop CPU.
I saw some scrap parts on ebay the other day and i woundered if i could salvage a cpu from a motherboard.
I currently have an sus x550 LD, and it as a i5 4200u. And the CPU I looked into was the i7 4510u. I was woundering because they are both haswell processors and have about the same tdp. The only problem is if the socket is compatible ( i mean, from my knowledge it should be... but I might be wrong).
If so, what are the downsides of doing something like this ( not talking about the warranty, but rather batery life, heat output, unstability issues, etc...)
That's all for now and I kindly thank any answers that you can give. Thank you in advance.
